Definitions

  • This invention refers to fluid actuated rodless cylinders and more particularly relates to a sealing device for pneumatic cylinders without rod of the type having a hollow body or barrel defining an elongated chamber in which a piston member reciprocates, said piston being connected to a power transmission element through a slot longitudinally extending on a wall of the cylinder.
  • Cylinders without rod have long been used to effect reciprocating movements or positioning of objects by using pressurized fluid, generally, compressed air, as power source.
  • pressurized fluid generally, compressed air
  • These rodless cylinders see GB-A-2163499, EP-A-0147803, US-A-2745382 and DE-C-846493, differently from traditional cylinders provided with a power transfer rod protruding from one or both ends, usually have a longitudinally sliding carriage or power transmission element movable on the cylinder body; the power transmission element is directly connected to a piston member inside the barrel of the cylinder through a longitudinal slot of adequate width.
  • a sealing element consisting of a flexible strip is located inside the cylinder chamber and is urged by the pressurized fluid against the inner surface of the chamber to cover the slot to form a seal.
  • An analogous sealing strip may be provided on the outside of the cylinder body along the longitudinal slot to prevent the entrance of dust.
  • the internal and external sealing strips go through longitudinal passage ways in the piston and carriage members, which are provided with adequate spreading means to spread apart and respectively to approach the strips to the body of the cylinder during the reciprocating movement of the piston.
  • the sealing strip comprises a sealing portion for creating a seal against an inner side wall of the cylinder barrel, adjacent the longitudinal slot, and retaining portions adapted for engagement with the inner and of the outer surfaces of the barrel along said longitudinal slot.
  • the use of retaining portions protruding inside the longitudinal slot of the cylinder do not permit the power transmission element connected to the reciprocating piston member, to be adequately guided during reciprocations movement along the cylinder resulting in difficulties to withstand to lateral reaction forces acting on said power transmission element.
  • the use of retaining members protruding into the longitudinal slot does not prevent the pressurised fluid from excaping at the failure of the sealing portions of the strip.
  • a sealing device comprising a V-shaped sealing strip provided with longitudinal retaining members protruding into lateral grooves of the cylinder, having lateral surfaces parallelly arranged to radial surfaces of the longitudinal slot; according to this device the sealing action is therefore provided pressing the outer surface of the strip, between the retaining members, against the inner surface of the cylinder, near to said longitudinal slot.
  • the sealing action may be reduced or compromised by wearing or any injuring of the sealing strip.
  • the long sealing strip may not be prevented from falling down, in absence of pressurised fluid into the chamber, when the longitudinal slot and the sealing strip are oriented upwards or on a side.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a sealing device for rodless fluid actuated cylinders designed to avoid the disvantages of the sealing devices in rodless cylinders previously known.
  • a main object of the invention is to provide a sealing device for rodless cylinders allowing the sealing strip to be positivelly engaged with longitudinal grooves inside the barrel, in absence of pressurised fluid while maintaining the longitudinal slot completely free from the strip retaining means and providing guiding surface for the power transmission member on both sides of the slot.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a rodless cylinder having a sealing device designed to improve and to maintain the sealing action by the retaining members, at the failure of the sealing strip, preventing the pressurised fluid to escape.
  • Figure 5 is an enlarged view showing only a part of the sectional view of figure 3.
  • the pneumatic cylinder comprises a hollow body in the form of a barrel 10 sealingly closed at its ends by two heads or end caps 11 and 12 in such a way as to define a cylindrical chamber 13 in which slides a piston member 14 provided at its ends with cushioning and sealing gaskets 15.
  • the cylinder body 10 is provided with a longitudinal slot 16 (figure 4) on one side of its walls, through which passes a stem 17′ attached to the piston 14 and to an external carriage 17 defining a power transmission element.
  • the carriage 17 with stem 17′ extending through slot 16 toward the piston 14 to which it is mechanically connected can be manufactured and designed in any way and shape, for example it can be die-cast as a single piece to improve mechanical rigidity.
  • Cylinder heads 11 and 12 can be differently manufactured and attached to body 10 by, for example, bolts or similar means; the heads can also comprise check valves or blocking valves; also, each head, in a way which is already known, can have a shock-absorption and deceleration device.
  • a shock-absorption and deceleration device includes, for example, a tube 18 having an appropriate sealing gasket at its free end, not shown, which communicates with a vent hole 19 and comprises a fine-threaded screw (not shown) which allows for exact adjustment for the deceleration of piston 14.
  • Piston 14 has corresponding conical holes 20 at its ends; these holes 20 are penetrated by tubes 18 at the end of piston stroke.
  • Sealing means for internal and external sealing of the cylinder chamber 13 have been provided along the longitudinal slot 16 of the cylinder to prevent the pressurised fluid from escaping during reciprocating movement of the piston member 14.
  • Such sealing means are in the form of flexible strips 21 and 22, shown in enlarged detailed view in figure 4, freely passing through longitudinal passageways in the piston and carriage bodies.
  • Both internal and external strips 21, 22 have a greater width than the central slot 16 and comprise a flat wall portion 21a, 22a in wear-resistant thermoplastic material which is resistant to mechanical stresses, for example in polyurethane or polyester materials; wall portions 21a and 22a of the sealing strips 21, 22 on the sides respectively facing the internal and external surface of cylinder 10, in proximity to the lateral edges or lips 29 comprise retaining means in the form of longitudinal legs or bead members 23 and 24 engaging and disengaging respective retaining grooves 25 and 26 into cylinder body 10, parallel to and laterally spaced from central slot 16. To avoid overlapping of grooves 25 of internal sealing strip 21 with grooves 26 of external sealing strip 22, the latter has a greater width than internal sealing strip 21, as shown.
  • Both retaining legs 23, 24 and retaining grooves 25, 26 having protruding parts or opposed facing surfaces which are adequately slanted or rounded to improve sealing action and facilitate withdrawal and introduction of the legs of each sealing strip into said retaining grooves by reciprocating movement of piston 14.
  • Each sealing strip 21, 22 is formed in a single piece together with its respective retaining legs 23 and 24 by moulding or extrusion of plastic material.
  • both strips 21 and 22 have been provided with a metallic band 27 and 28 respectively, on the side facing the cylinder body 10.
  • Bands 27, 28, can be applied to each plastic strip after extrusion or, as an alternative, reinforcing wires 27′ can be applied or incorporated during moulding or extrusion.
  • the retaining legs 23, 24 of the two sealing strips and the bevelled sealing lips 29 are located at a distance from central slot 16; thus, the slot 16 remains completely free for the sliding of carriage 17.
  • the use of sealing strips in thermoplastic material, combined with a metallic reinforcing band on the side facing slot 16, allows further improvement of working conditions in that sealing action is assured by bevelled lips 29 of the plastic strip, while the metallic reinforcing band prevents unloading of mechanical bending and stretching stresses, which are caused by the sliding of carriage 17, onto the plastic strips, thus avoiding repeated and dangerous stretching or lengthing.
  • piston 14 and carriage 17 have two longitudinal passageways 31 and 32 which converge in the direction of the ends of piston 14 in such a way as to increase and respectively decrease the spacing between sealing strips 21 and 22 during reciprocating movement of piston 14.
  • a dust-sealing gasket 33 co-operate with the carriage 17 and is arranged around the outer sides of carriage 17 to press against the external gasket 22 which is co-planar to the cylinder wall; the ends of dust-sealing gasket 33 are urged by springs 34 against the external surface of cylinder 10 and external sealing strip 22 in such a way as to constantly maintain their cleanliness.
  • Sealing gasket 33 can in any case be shaped and arranged on carriage 17 in combination with a set of rollers, balls or similar rolling members 36 (figure 3) which can be arranged, if desired, in appropriate rolling tracks between opposite surfaces of carriage 17 and the cylinder barrel or hollow body 10 of the cylinder.
  • the sealing system according to this invention has a number of advantages over existing known systems.
  • the use of slanted and rounded retaining legs and grooves provides a supplemental sealing action in respect to bevelled edges 29 as well as a snap fitting action of the legs into and out of the retaining grooves.
  • a metallic reinforcing band which is designed to come into contact with the piston body or power transmission carriage allows manufacturing of the sealing strips by simple extrusion of anti-wear thermoplastic material, for example polyurethane or polyester, obtaining formation, during extrusion, of two tapered lateral lips which guarantee the seal on each side of the strip.
  • the presence of retaining elements in the form of flexible longitudinal legs which fit into grooves parallel to the central slot not only allow the latter to remain completely free for correct guiding of the carriage, but also further improve the seal in that an eventual surge in fluid pressure, which could be caused on the inside of grooves 25 by an seal defect of lips 29, would tend to push legs 23 of internal gasket 21 against the opposing wall of grooves 25, preventing in every case the escape of pressurized fluid to the outside; this is of great importance in all uses in which the cylinder undergoes vibration or repeated lateral loads which could cause momentary detachment of the lateral lips of each strip from their respective sealing surfaces. In this way, one obtains a system of improved sealing at a comparatively reduced cost.
  • anti-frictional members 36′ may be provided on lateral surfaces of the carriage 17 to slide against flat guiding surfaces 26′ of grooves 26; this improve the sliding and the ability of the carriage 17 to oppose to lateral thrusts.
